Welp, I definitely ate the Onion with this one. Reality is so fucking bonkers at this point that it's hard to tell what's satire and what isn't.

MODERATORS
I know people should know better but there should be a rule (or a bot that enforces this) about adding [SATIRE] before these kinds of posts
It shows the URL, which is clearly a satire based website.
And yet, it's not enough
It is for those of us that aren't living under a rock.
Yes⦠of course
FFS, for a a good minute they actually had me!
Its so hard to discern reality from fiction these days, am I having some psychosis or schizophrenia, and the real world hasn't gone insane?
I'm sure she'd feel right at home in Florida.
In the "Beaverton headlines I wish were real" category, I present the January 2025 winner.
I canβt believe we voted her in. I mean I can because Albertans are gullible morons, but I canβt believe it got this bad.
Just checking you're aware the article is satire.
Upon having it explained to her that applying for asylum in the United States first requires one to register with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Smith exclaimed βBut Iβm white,β before demanding to speak to the concierge at Mar-A-Lago
Is it though?
You can tell its satire because it sounds less insane than any of the real things Smith says or does on a daily basis.
I'd argue that even knowing the article is satire, their comment stands.
Oh I know.
She wasn't 'voted in' in the traditional sense..
Jason Kenney stepped down due to numerous scandals and mishaps. The conservative party of Alberta (The UCP) then held a members only vote to elect their new fuhrer.
70k people picked her in a province of multiple million
But then we got a real election and she still won. So while the job was given to her, she technically earned being Premiere. Just shows how stupid Albertans are, to have voted in someone that was anti government, anti-mask, anti-covid and pro-plastic straws.
I'd be offended if you weren't 100% correct
Source: Albertan :(
There was an election since the last UCP leadership race which they won.
Traitorous POS.
